MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ardagh

"To ask the Manager to remove the Plane Tree outside (*details supplied).  The roots of this enormous tree have raised the footpath and rendered it dangerous to pedestrians especially at night-time.  There have been a number of recorded accidents at this location already.   The residents are requesting that the tree be removed and replaced by a smaller species of tree - preferably a Rowan Tree?"

REPLY:

The mature Plane tree will be removed and the location replanted with an appropriate new street tree as part of the 2008/09 Arboricultural Programme.
